Here's 4 Steps To Better Results In Building A LifePath Unlimited Business

I hear a lot of entrepreneursboth amateurs and proscomplain that they are not getting the results they are looking for in their LifePath business.

The first question I ask is, What is it you are looking for? The answers vary depending on the person.
More sales is a pretty typical response or, more cash-flow; better conversions and more traffic to my site.

Wow. Does any of this sound close to home? If you are extremely successful, you can probably see the problem right away.

My reaction to this? You are too results-oriented.

You are probably saying to yourself, Yeah JT, isn't that the point? Shouldn't we be focused on the bottom line, on making the sales and converting leads into prospects; prospects in to new team members?

My answer is a flat-out No.

The great Zig Ziglar points out that the key to getting anything you want out of business, out of life, is to give people what they want.

You see, when you focus on the results, you are putting your own needs first. When you do this, you give off a vibe that you are only in it for the money (the end result). You present a posture of self-service.

People are not stupid. They will be able to see straight through you when you are focused on the results. In the end, you will come off as desperate, whether you know you are doing it or not. And nobody wants to work with a desperate person.

So how do you fight a results-oriented mindset?

First, focus on a service-first' mentality. Ask yourself these important questions: What do I have to offer my audience that will be beneficial to them? By audience I am referring to your leads, customer base, clients and potential Life Path business partners.

Second, ask yourself, What is it that people want? Am I sharing that? And if not, how can I provide it? It is a multi-layered question, I know. But until you deeply examine that question, you will be chasing people all over the marketplace, rather than having them come to you.

Don't be a hunter; be a fisherman or fisherwoman. Imagine being hunted'. Most creatures that are hunted are running for their lives. Would YOU want to be hunted? Didn't think so.

Now consider fishing. A fisherman places his or her bait (marketing) out for the desired target (client) to come willingly to, and consume. Sounds much better for both sides, right? (Yeah, I know¦in fishing, the fish loses in the end, but it is a metaphor so just play along!).

After you find out what your audience wants, ask How can I assist others to get what they want? Ah¦ now you are on to something.

Do you see how you are now refocusing your energy away from the result'? Instead of obsessing over making the sale or closing the customer, you are now on a adventure to find how you can be of service. You are exploring how you can be a solution to a person's challenges. You are acting as a leader and putting their needs first.

Instead of focusing on the result, you are now focusing on the journey. You are not only assisting others, but you are learning about them, and learning about yourself as well. You are transforming yourself from hunter to provider. You are establishing trust and building relationships.

By telling your mind to focus on the steps required to add value, and by concentrating on your prospects and their wants, you quickly center your focus on what is important: service first' thinking. And as you do, you will find your life flooded with an abundance of the results' you desperately sought in the beginning.

Finally, give this gift of wisdom to the people that are in your organization. NOW you are starting to really make a difference, because not only have you changed yourself for the better, but now you are empowering your team with the same values and skills so that THEY can recreate the same success and begin to achieve their own desired results.

Give people what they want, and you'll get everything you deserve. It is that simple.

Lead Strong,
JT
